I was wearing black clothes almost from the beginning. I feel comfortable in black. I felt like black looked good onstage, that it was attractive, so I started wearing it all the time.

Music and fashion go hand in hand. I think music inspires all types of arts; it inspires life, emotion, mood, and all of those things are reflected in my fashion and my style. One doesn't go without the other.

You will never be stylish if you don't take risks.

My style icons were Gwen Stefani, when she was in No Doubt, and then Shirley Manson in Garbage.

Guys will take one pair of jeans, five T-shirts and three pair of socks and that'll get you by for 10 weeks.

I like to be comfortable, but I do enjoy being a British gent and dressing up a bit.
